PP-Mono: MC Monaural Phono Cartridge
Phasemation's long-awaited MC monaural cartridge, the PP-Mono, is designed to educe musical realism and the artist's passion engraved in monaural records.
PP-Mono: Celebrating 10 Years of Analog Excellence
Monaural cartridges remain a favorite among analog audiophiles, though many find current options lacking in sonic satisfaction. After a long development period, Phasemation has achieved near-perfect harmony between vibrant, fresh mid-to-high frequencies and deep, resonant bass—even in a monaural format.
Released to mark Phasemation's 10th anniversary, the PP-Mono represents the culmination of over a decade of cartridge development - bringing new life and emotion to monaural record playback.
Newly-designed Magneto System
The appearance and material of magneto system are newly designed about the high efficiency and high resolution for providing for monaural. R of end of stylus chip to key of tracing is set to 0.65 mil. For cantilever, the aluminum pipe, which is light and strong and excellent to capability tracing a monaural signal, is adopted. By combining the originally-designed magneto coil with this, the recreation of excellent feeling of sound field and freshness has been successfully realized, which has been difficult for the conventional monaural cartridges.
Strong Body Structure
As the materials of base and body we adopt stainless material and duralumin respectively. Furthermore, DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) *1) coating is conducted; thereby, the structure excellent at rigidity and vibration-damping characteristics is realized.
*1) DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) is a generic name of carbon film to be produced with vapor phase synthesis utilizing ion processing; and the high rigidity and high electric insulation similar to a diamond are provided for it.
